Alaskan horseback tours are a relatively new addition to the blossoming diversity of Alaskan tourism businesses. Currently there are several operators conducting trail rides and wilderness adventures on horseback. These operators are located across Alaska and offer the visitor a look at distinctly separate and unique regions of the state.

Most horse operators in the Southcentral and Interior regions of the Alaska offer trail rides lasting from one hour in duration to a full day in length. One such outfitter in the Kantishna District of Denali Park has gone one step further and now conducts wagon-rides through the old gold-mining area. This activity will undoubtably grow in popularity and availability.

For the more adventurous guest, there are several outfitters currently offering wilderness vacations via horseback, ranging in length from three days up to two weeks in duration. These expeditions take you into the backcountry of Alaska and allow glimpses of spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. This is an excellent way to get the beaten path and see the Alaska that most people only dream about!

Alaska's largest city- Anchorage, also has a variety of horseback experiences for the visitor, ranging from wagon and sleigh rides down town to rodeo events in the greater Anchorage and Mat-Su areas. Whatever your taste in horseback adventure, Alaska has what you are looking for.
